A Pilot to Implement Chronic Care Management Services at an Academic Medical Center
Jamshed Namirah, Miller Jessica, Rubin Craig. Gerontology & geriatric medicine, 2023-04-04
Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies
Twenty-three patients participated. Mean age was 82 years. Majority were white (67%). One thousand sixty-six dollars ($1,066) were collected for CCM. Co-pay for traditional MCR was $8.47. Most common chronic disease diagnoses were hypertension, congestive heart failure, chronic kidney disease, dementia with behavior and psychological disturbance, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Conclusion and CCM services offer additional revenue source for practices that provide care coordination for chronic disease management.
Key findings
- One thousand sixty-six dollars ($1,066) were collected for CCM.
- Most common chronic disease diagnoses were hypertension, congestive heart failure, chronic kidney disease, dementia with behavior and psychological disturbance, and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
- Conclusion and CCM services offer additional revenue source for practices that provide care coordination for chronic disease management.
Why it matters
This small pilot with 23 patients described implementing chronic care management services and the revenue they generated. It is about care coordination and billing, not about treating, curing, or preventing Alzheimer's disease.
